Return to Nokia Style

Nokia has made a comeback after years with several new products at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona 2017. These products currently target the budget segment of the mobile market. One of the most unusual and perhaps interesting new phones from Nokia is the model 3310, which recalls the good old days of Nokia and is priced at only $52. This product will be available in dark red, matte gray, and dark blue. The phone uses Nokia's Series 30 Plus software. The Nokia 3310 has a 2.4-inch display and offers better image quality compared to previous models. Weighing about 80 grams, it is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and supports external memory cards up to 32 GB. Unlike previous models, this new phone has adopted a more modern appearance with smaller dimensions and less thickness. Over 125 million units of the previous model were sold during its release years. Other features of the Nokia 3310 include the Opera Mini web browser. Unlike smartphones, this phone has a long battery life. The new Nokia 3310 can last up to 25 days on standby or 22 hours of voice calls on a single charge. However, with so many smartphones in the market, can this phone be successful? For many people, as a handy phone or a second phone (alongside a smartphone) that is compact, has a long battery life, and is inexpensive, this phone could be ideal. Of course, this was not Nokia's only product at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona 2017, as the company also unveiled two other new phones. The Nokia 3, with a 5-inch display and a price of 139 euros, was among the new products unveiled at the exhibition. The Nokia 3 should be recognized as a low-end smartphone. Although it is part of the budget market, it seems to be a suitable product against its peers. The Nokia 3 features an aluminum body and a 5-inch HD resolution display. Its rear camera is 8 megapixels and equipped with autofocus. The processor is a MediaTek MT6737 chip with four processing cores, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal memory. This phone runs on Android 7. The other new Nokia phone is the Nokia 5, with a metal body and a price of 189 euros. This phone, with its 5.2-inch display, is considered a compact version of the Nokia 6 smartphone. Its processing power is provided by an octa-core Snapdragon 430 chip, while the Adreno 505 GPU handles the graphics processing. Nokia has allocated 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage for this phone. The main camera of this phone is 13 megapixels, and the secondary camera is 8 megapixels with a wide lens. This phone also runs on Android 7. Before these phones, Nokia had unveiled the Nokia 6, which has a 5.5-inch display. This new Nokia phone is equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, which also supports microSD cards. This phone is considered a mid-range model in Nokia's products, which is why Nokia has used mid-range processors in it. The processor of the Nokia 6 is the Snapdragon 430, an octa-core chip with a frequency of 1.4 GHz. The Snapdragon 430 can easily handle typical processing tasks alongside running several games, although running heavy graphics and 3D games may be challenging for this chip. The Nokia 6 is a smartphone that uses mid-range hardware and the Nougat Android operating system. The camera used in Nokia's new product has a 16-megapixel sensor with a regular flash, and for the selfie camera, an 8-megapixel sensor has been considered. The battery of this phone is 3000 mAh, which seems suitable for a mid-range phone. Nokia has stated that this mid-range product features a fully aluminum body and high build quality, adhering to some military standards. It has been said that the new Nokia device is not only highly resistant to impacts but also protected from damage caused by heat, humidity, cold, and water intrusion. However, Nokia has not yet unveiled its flagship phone. This phone is likely to challenge many flagship phones worldwide upon its release. After separating from Microsoft, Nokia has re-entered the market with its phones under the Nokia brand. The company HMD, managed by former Nokia executives, is responsible for marketing and selling the phones, while Foxconn handles production and research and development.
